HPUX 11.31 ioscan not showing disks

[Roy Augustine]

Hi,

Newbie on HPUX..

Our rp3410 running HPUX 11.31 is not showing any disks when i run "ioscan -fnC disk" (this machine has two scsi disks)
----------------------
bhpux1131_old# ioscan -fnC disk
bhpux1131_old#
----------------------

but i can see the disks using diskinfo..

----------------------

bhpux1131_old# diskinfo /dev/rdisk/disk6
SCSI describe of /dev/rdisk/disk6:
vendor: HP 146 G
product id: MAT3147NC
type: direct access
size: 143374744 Kbytes
bytes per sector: 512
bhpux1131_old#
----------------------

The output of "ioscan -f" is attached..

Please could someone help me to figure out why ioscan is not showing any didks?

Thanks,
Roy

Hi roy

how do you know you have disk6?

try to run insf -e , it will reinstall your hardware driver.

then run

#ioscan -fnC disk

First run simple ioscan command then insf...
#ioscan
#insf
#insf -e -C disk
Then try....

Ashan,

I know it has two scsi disks because I have have physical access tothe system.. Recently I added one more disk and did ioscan to see if the system detected the new disk.. then only I noticed it is not showing any disks...

I went to /dev/rdisk to see if any device files are there, and it is.

[Roy Augustine]

insf -e ("insf -e -C disk" also )gives the below output. but still ioscan is not showing the disks...

[Roy Augustine]

output of "insf -e -C disk" follows...

insf: Installing special files for esdisk instance 4 address 64000/0xfa00/0x0
insf: Installing special files for esdisk instance 6 address 64000/0xfa00/0x2
insf: Installing special files for esdisk instance 7 address 64000/0xfa00/0x3

[Jeeshan]

alright!!!

then try to run insf then insf -e and run ioscan -fnC disk.

[Roy Augustine]

Thank you for the reply...

even after "insf" and "insf -e -C disk", ioscan still not shows the disks...

[Vivekanandan Somanathan]

Have you ran "insf -e" or insf -eC disk"

Try this :

1) insf -e
2) ioscan -fnCdisk

[Torsten.]

If I read the "ioscan -f" output and this

bhpux1131_old# ioscan -fnC disk
bhpux1131_old#


it looks really strange.
IMHO any "insf" stuff will not help here, because you don't even see the devices (no need to worry about device files yet)!


First I would check is "ioscan" itself:

# type ioscan

Perhaps someone has bring a script in place?

# type ioscan
ioscan is /usr/sbin/ioscan

# file /usr/sbin/ioscan
/usr/sbin/ioscan: PA-RISC1.1 shared executable -not stripped
